Julie comes from a family passionate about food: Her grandmother made the biscuits and gravy, her father made the chicken and dumplings, and her mother made anything and everything, with a flourish of buttercream on top.

She lives with her husband Mike and their two dogs in Raleigh, and is the creator of Willow Bird Baking.
